Wish Upon a Star Card

My Wish Upon a Star Design Team Card — My Wish Upon a Star Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Wish Upon a Star Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the sweet digital stamp Minnie Amara. You can buy this stamp in either rubber or digital if you join the Paper Nest Dolls Stamp Club. I am a big Disney fan and when I saw that you can get the cutest Disney inspired stamp by Paper Nest Dolls, I just had to join it!

I had a lot of fun colouring Minnie Amara with my Copic Markers even though I found it challenging to colour her skin and hair.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought a shaker card in the shape of an admission ticket would be so fun! I used my Silhouette Cameo to find a ticket shape and downloaded the file. This shape came with a number of other ticket designs, but I loved the Magic Kingdom Castle shape at one end. Since I didn’t have any Disney confetti, I downloaded a Mickey head SVG file and cut some out on my Silhouette Cameo. I die cut the Stitched Minnie Bows from Stamp AnnieThing’s Magical Celebrations Grab and Go Box using a piece of paper from the paper pads with a red background and white dots that matched my colouring. I also threw in some red, black and gold sequins and stars that I had in my stash. Did you know that Paper Nest Dolls has Krafty Bling which includes a Magical Mix and Mouse Ears. I will have to get some for my next card!

I love the Magical Adventure 2 and Wish Upon a Star paper pads by Echo Park. Perfect for my Disney themed card! I fussy cut a couple of tickets from the paper that was leftover when I used it for the base of my shaker window. The Do You Believe was a tag in the paper pad and the wish upon a star was from the matching Ephemera.

My Santorini Window Card

My Welcoming Window Card — My Santorini Window Card

Today I am sharing my Santorini Window Card using the Welcoming Window Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I love that you can make different cards depending on which sentiment you use. This one is a birthday card, but I also made a Mother’s Day card for my mom too.

When I saw this bundle, I immediately thought of creating a window that shows the inside of the card. I went with bright colours that were inspired by a photo from our Greece trip to Santorini with the bright pink bougainvillea flowers against a white building.

I stamped directly onto the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper that carried over to the new Annual Catalogue. The white stucco sheet of DSP was perfect for my card. The shutters and window frame just had to be in Pacific Point since that colour reminds me of Santorini! To create my window, I used a piece of wind sheet between the window panes. I even used the part of the DSP that I cut of the window on the inside of my card. Then you would not see the glue that I used to adhere the Pacific Point frame on the front.

For the inside, I stamped my images centred on the page so that I can be seen through the window.

Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

My Design Team Card for Copic for Alle — My Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Stack of Sweet Wishes Card as my Guest Design Team Card for Copic for ALLE. I was so excited to be asked to be on their GDT again for the month of May. Their Color Challenge for May is using E (Earth Tone) Copic markers. I use Es in so much of my colouring. They really are a staple for me!

For my card, I pulled out Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta by C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps. A friend, Nathalie, asked me to show her some colouring techniques and I thought this image would be a good one for us to colour together.

I showed her skin blending using E Copic Markers (E000/00/21/11/04/R20). Here is a collage of the skin colouring steps:

Next we worked on her hair using E Copic Markers (E18/E15/E13/E11). This is the collage for the step to colour the hair:

For my card, I created a mini slimline card for my sweet Birgitta! Since she is sitting, I placed her on a cake pedestal. I thought it would be a fun way to show her off. I use Galvanized Metallic paper for the pedestal. The flag banners were cut from the DSP so that they would match the other elements. A scattering of sequins adds some birthday festiveness to the card!

My Secret Garden Card

My Secret Garden Design Team Card — My Secret Garden Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Secret Garden Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This pretty digital stamp is called Sweet Annabelle. She is perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday, thinking of you and so many other card occasions!

I love the Secret Garden Paper that I have in my stash and have been keeping it for a special card. So, I decided to use it for my card and coloured Annabelle with my Copic Markers in softs pinks, blues and purples to match. I added Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the dots on her apron and on her hair bow for a little bit of sparkle.

For the card base, I embossed a die cut piece of Highland Heather with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder to give Annabelle a subtle floral backdrop. From that I layered the leaves so that they are wrapped around the tag that came with the paper pad. A few hydrangeas made with a punch tie in the colours of my colouring. For the pearl flower centres, I coloured them with my Y17 Copic markers to match the flowers in her basket.

April Showers Card

May 6, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my April Showers Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Avery in Rain Poncho.

April showers really does bring May flowers! May is here and the flowers are blooming! So, I couldn’t resist colouring Avery in her sweet rain poncho and her little friend with my Copic markers! I have had her coloured for a long time sitting on my desk waiting to be placed on the perfect card and I thought Spring is the perfect time for her!

For my card, I decided to create a circular card instead of my typical square/rectangle ones. A circular card suited the Sending Flowers Dies with its vignette of tulips and flowers in the bright spring colours. The Pleased as Punch DSP with the raindrops was perfect for my background of my card. I added a few more raindrops with the Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes to make the rain sparkle. More sparkle was added with the rhinestones in the flowers centers. I added Glossy Accents to her boots since all goloshes are wet from splashing in puddles!

Welcome Spring Card

April 28, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Welcome Spring Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This digital stamp is called Bunny Tulips and comes with the bunny in the flower pot and two sentiments.

Spring has finally arrived in my part of the world! The tulips and daffodils are blooming, and the birds are singing. I love Spring and the renewal of life that it brings!

For my card, I coloured this sweet stamp with my Copic markers in Spring like colours of pink, yellow and blue. Did you know that you can have pink and yellow snails! Lol! I love how the bunny is peeking out of the flower pot! I used Glossy Accents on the pot to give it a shine and Stickles on the butterfly to make her sparkle!

For my embellishments, I had some paper tulips that were very long. So, I sniped them down and wrapped them like a bouquet you get in the store. I used some paper ribbon that I die cut into a square for the wrap. A piece of raffia tied around the bundle finishes this lovely bouquet off. I added a paper butterfly that matches the fence which was die cut using the Picket Fence Die-namics. I coloured a few of the pearls to match my card and added a few uncoloured ones to match the paper butterfly.

My Sweet Maisy Card

April 24, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sweet Maisy Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This digital stamp bundle is called Maisy and Cory Mice Bundle and comes with six images including two mice and 4 sentiments.

I just coloured Maisy with my Copic markers for my card thinking it would make a sweet Mother’s Day card. My cosmos flowers came out vibrant and bright to create a nice cheery card. I used Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo Designer Series paper from the Brights Collection by Stampin’ Up! to match my bright and cheery colours. The doily I found loose in my stash and thought it created a perfect backdrop for Maisy. The hearts were punched out from the Please as Punch Designer Series Paper to be layered behind Maisy. I love the sentiments that come with the bundle and thought that “Just saying hello” could be used for so many different occasions. To add some bling to my card, I wanted to use some rhinestones but tie in the pink. So, I coloured them with my RV 19 Copic marker. Voila! Instant matching embellishments!

Happy Earth Day Card

April 22, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Earth Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Ellie With Flower Pot.

For those that don’t know what Earth Day is, it is an annual celebration that honours the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22.

The world is our home and every year I like to support Earth Day in my own little way! I thought Ellie With Flower Pot was perfect for my Earth Day Card! So, I coloured her with my Copic markers.

Since this is an Earth Day card, I used recycled paper including some cardboard that I repurposed. The Green Stack is 70% recycled paper. The piece behind Ellie has such words as Wonderful World, Go Green, Blue Skies, Environment, Earth, Green Trees, etc. Perfect for an Earth Day card! The cardboard was some that I had kicking around the house. I pulled it apart and kept the middle corrugated part that I tore to fit my card. I just loved using all these recycled bits for my card!

The world dies and leafy vines really add to the Earth Day theme. For the sentiment, I stamped each letter individually in a haphazard way. I love the rustic feel of the blocked letters!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Mother’s Day Card using the digital stamp called ‘Kangaroo’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. Mother’s Day is just around the corner and this stamp is perfect for that special mom!

I coloured this sweet digital stamp with my Copic markers in Spring like colours. Don’t you just love how the little Roo is hanging out of his mummy’s pouch! Sneak peek…the Designer Series Paper I used is from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue that starts in May 2021! It was sitting on my desk with it’s pretty colours just begging to be used! Lol! The butterfly from the Brilliant Wings Dies was die cut from the DSP as well. The Pool Party Sheer Ribbon tied in a pretty bow went perfectly with the DSP! The sentiment was embossed in white and then die cut with a scallop die from the Layering Circle Dies. A scattering of rhinestones, Wink of Stella and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen add some sparkle to the card.

My Some Bunny Card

March 29, 2021 4 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Some Bunny Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This card uses 3 different digital stamps including Bunny Daffodil Bundle which includes 9 stamps and Daffodil Flowers Bundle which includes 7 stamps.

I thought it would be cute to create a slimline card and use the Fields of Daffodils with the sweet Bunny Daffodil in front almost like he has picked those flowers just for you!

Sweet Bunny from Bunny Daffodil Digital Stamp

I decided to colour my daffodils in both yellows and white/yellows to give a variation to my field of daffodils. Daffodils can come in many different colours, but these are the colours that I have in my garden. My favourite is the white with yellow centres! To fit my field onto the slim line base, I cut it in half so that there is a slight gap which you can’t see behind the bunny. So, it looks like a continual field of daffodils! I did the same thing with the 6” pretty paper that you can just see peeking out as a border around the daffodils. This saves paper and you can’t see the gap hidden behind the bunny. A win-win situation! A couple of die cut butterflies with rhinestones and some epoxy water drops is all the embellishments that this card needed.

My Angelic Slimline Card

March 25, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Angelic Slimline Card using Angel Emma Catching Stars, Angel Owen on a Cloud and Angel Ellie on a Cloud all by Paper Nest Dolls. I thought that all three stamps together would make a fun slimline card!

It was so much fun colouring these sweet angels in bright Spring-like colours! Can you see I’m longing for Spring! Lol! I used glossy accents on all the gold bits and Clear Wink of Stella on their wings since angel wings should sparkle! For my clouds, I alternated white and blue measuring each layer so that they all stack on each other with lots of dimensionals. Since I decided to create a night sky behind them, I added a glimmery moon and a scattering of stars throughout my scene.

Hydrangea Thank You Card

March 23, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is I am sharing my Hydrangea Thank You Card that I made for a swap using the beautiful Hydrangea Haven Bundle by Stampin Up! I love how the watercolour hydrangea pops out of the DSP and the Stitched Nested frame!

I swooned over the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper when I saw it! All my favourite colours are in it like Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Mossy Meadow to name just a few! So, I decide that I wanted to use some of the colours in the DSP for my hydrangea flower head and leaves.

The Process of the Watercolour Technique

Prepare to get all inky! For my card, I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! Ink Refills of Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray to use on my watercolour paper. I drop a couple of drips of each colour onto my work space and added a few spritzes of the Frost White Shimmer Paint (that was premixed with rubbing alcohol) and then a few spritzes of water. I then dragged my watercolour paper through the ink picking up the colours.

The Process of the Hydrangea Watercolour Technique — The Process of the Watercolour Technique

Once the ink was dried on the flower heads, I used my Blending Brush to add a bit more Gorgeous Grape to the raised petals to give it a bit more dimension.

I did the same steps for the stem and leaves using Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.

Here is a video that I presented to fellow demonstrators showing this technique:

I love this look since you can get different variations in the flowers. Here is an example of both light and dark flower heads.

Somebunny Sweet Easter Card

March 17, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Somebunny Sweet Easter Card using the digital stamp called ‘Easter Bunny Girl’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. What a sweet image for Easter!

I had so much fun colouring my Easter scene with my Copic markers! The Doodlebug paper with those Easter eggs and grass images were perfect for my card! To make my die cut Easter eggs so colourful, I even cut them out of the paper. Don’t you just love them! So cute! I had some scraps of paper left from a previous project. So, I put them together to create a tri-coloured frame behind my coloured image. Great way to use up scraps! I added a white picket fence and clouds with a sun to make my scene so happy since Easter is a happy time for kids big and small!

Thinking of You Card

March 16, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is I am sharing my Thinking of You Card using the Simply Succulents Bundle by Stampin’ Up! A good friend and I love succulents. And as you know, I love to colour! Double whammy! So, when I saw this bundle, I knew that I would be getting it!

For my card, I used my Stampin’ Blends to colour using the tip-to-tip technique for the flowers and the smooth colouring technique for the pot. I have added links to my colouring techniques videos from a presentation at the end of this post if you wish to learn more. This card was easy to put together since the images were a quick colour.

I thought that the die cut of the succulents that spans a whole card front is so beautiful. So, I decided to use that for my background with a Rococo Rose card base. Rococo is one of the 2019-2021 In Colors that I am going to miss the most! It will be retiring with the new Catalogue in May. So, make sure you get all your favourite retired items before they are gone!

I created a focal point with the largest Stitched Circle Die where I added my bouquet and sentiment. A scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels of which I coloured a few with my Rococo Rose Dark Blend and Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon are all the embellishments this card needed.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Simply Succulents Bundle (156264)
Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (132708)
Paper: Rococo Rose (150882), Crumb Cake (120953), Basic White (159276), Old Olive (100702)
Accessories: Stitched Shapes Dies (152323), Rococo Rose 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon (149704), Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack (154892), Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack (154882), Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack (154900), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Glue Dots (103683)

Measurements:

Rococo Rose: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
Basic White (5 pieces):
- Background ½” x 8 ½”
- Sentiment: 2 5/8” x ½”
- Larger Flower: 1 3/8”
- Smaller Flower: 1”
- Pot: 1 ¼” x 1 5/8”
Old Olive: 2” x 2 1/8”
Crumb Cake: 2 7/8”
